    Weather

    its just raining constantly over here. so bad yesterday my neighbour told me its the first day since he installed his 1st solar panels that they generated exactly 0 power. even on bad days hed get a little trickle, but yesterday was a complete nil...
  2. i saw this reported on toktok at 730am here, it mustve been just after happening with the time change as there was almost no information at the time. ship seems to have been suffering power loss, made a mayday call, might have been a fire but details are still sketchy. As already said, it happened in the middle of the night, thank God, and not 530pm on a friday... 6 people still missing. as far the total collapse, yup. same as any steel frame, theres a certain amount of redundancy built in, but once that point is reached its going going gone..
  3. unfortunately this is true, but.. we need them in work for their intended purpose so we can hack our way through all sorts of ****e to find drains and culverts and other issues that need fixing.
  4. i havnt watched it yet because im too afraid it will ruin my memories of the TopGun Universe. and part of that is down to seeing some side by clips with Star Wars that shows its basically that remade with terrestrial jets instead of space jets...
  5. one other thing you have to remember is that, unfortunately, as models go out of production and then ownership numbers dwindle the sub forum activity also drops off over time. the mk1 octy section was really busy when i joined in 2012, but now... its a ghost town. and the mk2 section is starting to go the same way. compounding it further is that bulletin board type forums are losing popularity from other bigger Social Media conglomerates having groups to join.
  6. unless you to remove his head while catching him, i wouldnt recommend it for that purpose
  7. i sharpened my slash hook today, and my kindeling hatchet. didnt use them, just got them filed back to a nice bevel.
  8. is he still in the 14 days throw it back a them a refund period??
  9. its a lenovo... ive had 2, 1 free from uni that survived about 5 yrs of not very heavy usage, and i still had to replace the fan assembly after 18months.. the other was my last laptop from work. i spent 3 of the 5 yrs i had that thing carrying around a bt keyboard and mouse because the on board stopped working and i couldnt spend weeks waiting for IT to sort it. i also went in to work one day and a manager asked me was i still handy with computers? (they knew i had been a builder in my teenage yrs from previous hardware issues i looked after.. im the office jack of all trades) IT had sent her a new fan assembly for her lenovo and had no idea when they could get a tech down to replace it. I did it with my swiss army knife in 20mins. and.. missus mac was given one in work 18months ago when her 2nd surface pro bit the dust in under 15 months. it just randomly turns itself off at least once a week for no reason and gives no errors or messages when it restarts. they. are. ****e.
  10. my dad was a financial controller for an internaional company who produce products related to J.R.'s sister's colleagues absentee excuse.. many many yrs ago. he managed to the factory a budget for an IBM pc, which arrived and a tech was sent from the states to programme it for the factory. he arrived with 3 suitcases of punchcards... and no where to put them
  11. pay a bit more, get it blanked. i will be. at least then its not part of the engine and the ecu wont be looking for it anymore, so it cant become an issue issue again from either side.. at current exchange rates your quote and mine are pretty close, so i dont either are a rip off.. just need to make time for getting done.. i also need an aircon rad replacement and possibly a timing belt/pump, so its gonna be a bit of pricey service already 🙄
  12. alright, i get it, yer all old gits but i too learned on dos, and 3.11, 95.. and basic on an amiga a500.
  13. yeah, id say he wouldve been an exempted from that rule applying.. dont be trying to make him our problem
  14. when the main "activist group" for a cause is disliked by the vast majority of most unaffiliated supporters of the cause... yeah, theyll struggle to stay relevant 🙄🤣
  15. Hi .. its your egr is sticking.. im having the same increasingly frequent limp mode with the 1.6 cayc in my octy, especially since i stopped driving it for work a few weeks ago when i was told to use a van again instead of mileage. literally just now on the shopping run. i also get a flashing coil error and "maf" error on occassion, but its really the egr. that doesnt throw a limp though, and happens if i coast for more than 5seconds without a throttle blip. due a service soon. and my skoda semi indy (own time after work in skoda dealers) told he can get the egr blankedand mapped out for me for about 300quid. lot cheaper than a new one..
  16. ****e ehm.. dull... dull... it started drizzling while i was at circuit training, and 3 stations were outside. keot getting sweat washed into my eyes, it stung a little.
  17. ill bring it back down., a smidge... i dropped my work 2020 transit connect into the lease company depot today for its 102000km service. i was given a 2024 lwb transit custom. its like driving a small bus for the few miles until you settle in. why no armrests?? but saw an almost alarming number of phones on peoples laps while passing them on the motorway.. the extra height you can nearly see people shoes. connect should be ready for pickup tomorrow. ive a feeling thats almost interesting ..
  18. another photo from the prince during his chillin out for sleepy time on Monday
  19. jesus christ @olduns this hasnt been a happy trip at all 😒
  20. i dont think he will in the fraud case. the state DA office will just start seizing his assets 😁 "hes a billionaire, of course he has the cash available to pay the bind and clear his name on appeal" - magas. nope, your emporer has no clothes...
  21. Out on track yesterday, standing at an access gate, and i saw a fox walking down the track. he got incredibly close before he saw me, in my neck to ankle hivis orange.. gave me a chuckle anyway.. full screen and rotate to landscape on a mobile device.. 20240319_112223.mp4
  22. no, i was comparing Trump to his music video from the 80s.. images.mp4
  23. a golf stance vs natural stance are not the same, so couldnt really use that as a guide towards anything.
